TROUBLE AMONG THE KNIGHTs
An Alleged Attempt to be Made to De-
pose Powderly.

District Assembly "a, Knights OF
Labor, Chicago. has appointed a COM
mittee of five, which is engaged in the
investigation OF the stock yards
strike, and it is asserted that the rea-
son for the investigation is that Dis
trict Assembly ST (the packing house
employees assembly, has caus ed
q secret boycott to be Issued
against those of the Chicago pack
ers who were particularly hos
tile during the late strike. The
two district assemblies, "a and 81,
embrace nearly all the Knights in Chi
cago and Cook County. District As
sembly "a and Seamen's District AS
sembly 1876, it is said, were asked to
support the ST boycott. The mem.
bcrs OF 24 preferred q thorough in
vestigation OF the strike before taking
such step and the committee is now
taking testimony. Among the wit
nesses summoned are Messrs. Carter,
Grant and Dolan, who were ex-
during the strike. They were charged
with treason and several other
otfenses. Upon the result of the in.
vestigation depends the action to be
taken in relation to the boycott by
District Assembly "a, the member.
ship OF which includes Iearly all the
Knights in Chicago, except the pack
ing house district NO. 81 and the
Seamen's Assembly The intention OF
District 81 is to institute a general
boycott against several Of the packers
and make it permanent.
A dispatch OF the ED says: The &C.
ton OF General Master Workman
Powderly in declaring the strike off
and ordering the men back at ten
hours, IL is said, has led to a strong
local movement to have him deposed
1t IS claimed that q special session oil
the Knights General Assembly can be
convened upon 81 call issued by five
district assemblies from five states
Those favorina the move say that four
other assem- blies can be secured be
yond doubt and that such call will be
made. In this connection it is assert.
ed that /. ?. Barry and Mr.. Carlton,
the members of the general executive
committee, who were sent here to set
tie the strike, left this city with un-
friendly feelings toward Powderly, and
it is limited that crusade has been
inaugurated against him. Ia case q
special session of hepenerai assembly
is called before the next i9gular con.
vention, it viii consist of the same
delegates that met at Richmond. 1t
Is this fact, say the anti -Powderly
faction, that gives the movement q

Christmas Day.

From Harpers Magazine
The earliest mention OF the 25th o.
December as Christmas Day is found
in an ancient catalogue of church fes-
tivals about 354 A. d. And it is sur
prising to see with what aiacrity the
date was received and the Nativity
celebrated throughout Christendom.
1t seems as If the world had been wait
ing for this festival of divine and hu-
man childhood, and was ready to well
come it at once with songs of Joy. In
the year scott was already celebrated
in Rome by vast multitudes thronging
the churches. Twenty years later,
Antioch had token it up with great
enthusiasm. And in little more than
fifty years from its earliest suggestion,
the observance of December 25 az the
Nativity had become the universal
practice of Christians. st. Chrysos-
tom, in Christmas sermon preached
at Antioch, called it the fundamental
least, or the root from which all 9TH
er Christian festivals grow.

Christmas in New England.


The readiness with which the South
has adopted theNew England Thanks
giving Day leads the Atlanta Consti-
tuition to say that this "should induce
the North TO take hold of the Southern
Christmas" ''The New Englanders, !"
it adda, .'have never made Christmas
a very stiveholiday." The Puritans
and their descendants, for many years,
did not, it is true, look upon Christ
mas as did their Southern neighbors,
the Cavaliers. But the growth of the
Catholic and the Episcopal Churches in
this section long since introduced the
custom OF Christmas observances, and
the beautiful festival is now celebrated
here IN as hearty q fashion as any
where in the country. The Calvanistic
and other orthodox churches which
formerly frowned upon the observance
as savoring too much of "papacy,
now vie with their sister churches in
Christmas decorations and services.
Even the Unitarian Churches, that
look upon the Christchild with differ
ent eyes from their co-workers, recog-
nize His natal day as g. time OF reioic-
ing over the glad tidings" that pro-
claimed His birth. The churches, the
markets, the shops, the streets, the
homes and chimney corners OF New
England bear as unmistakable evil
dence of the approach and advent OF
Christmas as do those of the South.
II has come to be the most joyous
and universal festival OF the year, as
it deserves to be. And it is already in
the sir that christmas is coming"

the Princess Louise Of Wales with the
Duke Ernest Gunther OF Augustenberg,
who in right ought to be the Duke Of
Schleswig- Holstein. When his fathers
pretensions, however, had served the
purpose of Austria and Prussia, in the
dispossession OF Denmark, his claims
were set aside by Prussia in favor of
herself. AS the daughter of the ban

Prince OF Prussia, bis descendants will
recover something more than their

Supporting the Queens Offspring

The Queen has now, | be-

the royal line like that Of Ban
quo's issue, seems likely to stretch
out to the crack OF doom. But when
the third generation OF theroyal house
is reached, except it be in the direct
line OF succession, there will be a
strong feeling that it should be self
supporting. The Prince OF Wales
showed sober appreciation OF this
feeling in not demanding vote for his
eldest son when he came OF age. But
on his marriage there will probably be
a parliamentary provision. OF that
there is at present no trustworthy
